Sunday's weather was a sunny blustery morning with the wind falling much lighter in the afternoon. It tempted us out for a walk down to the nearby Pugneys Lake. It was fairly fresh even in the light breeze. The weather had tempted plenty of other folks out for some fresh air. Mrs GL took along the camera to test it out so all the photos are courtesy of Mrs GL.

Despite the milder weather of recent days the centre of the lake is still covered in ice forcing most of the bird life to the edge of the lake. It's a reminder of just how low the temperatures fell in December that conditions for our wild life have still not returned to normal.

These Canada geese are making the most of a small patch of thawed out lake.
It was late afternoon as we made our way round the far side of the lake and back towards our car. After a very pleasant sunny afternoon the sun was setting behind cloud rather than the horizon. It made for some excellent sunset scenes for Mrs GL to try out some photographic skills with her new camera. I don't think they're too bad for a first effort.

Yes, I agree, those are great photos, not just for a beginner. A professional could be proud of them. I like the one with the shasft of sunlight carving boldly across the surface of the water.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the images because they give me the impression that they were taken in a remote icy wilderness not just a couple of miles from Wakefield City Centre.
